Unfortunately, the duration of your visit does not coincide with any of these festivals.

So consider Options 2 and 3 below.

2. Itinerant Night Markets in Heartland Towns

Commonly referred to as pasar malam (Malay), these night markets make their rounds of the housing estates in Singapore. It's impossible to predict where the next pasar malam would be.

If I get hold of the schedule of pasar malams, I'll post it here. Do check with the Visitor Centre at Changi Airport - they may have a schedule.

As a local, I don't find these pasar malams very interesting. The stalls usually sell common stuff such as T-shirts, DVDs, handphone covers and so on.

However, it's the only place in Singapore to get a fix of the famous Ramly Burger. As a result of competition, the offerings do seem to be improving though.

3. Street Bazaars around Bugis MRT Station Recommended!

Your best bet for seeing a night bazaar in Singapore is to take the MRT to Bugis Station, and check these permanent night markets in Singapore:

a. Bugis Street Bazaar

This bazaar starts around mid-day and opens till quite late in the evening. It occupies a pedestrian walkway over what used to be Bugis Street.

It's worth a look for the quite interesting knick knacks they sell here.

b. Waterloo Street Pedestrian Mall

This section of Waterloo Street is closed to traffic and has an interesting mix of push cart stalls selling fresh cut flowers, fruits, finger food, clothes and accessories, and a good variety of other stuff.

Here's where shoppers and temple devotees mingle and mix.

c. Sungei Road Flea Market

OK, this is not really a night market because most of the stalls open in the day and start packing up when it becomes dark. You may not actually buy anything here. But the Sungei Road Flea Market is a very interesting flea market in Singapore.

Here's a map that shows you the locations of all these night markets in Singapore:
